My girlfriend tells me she loves me everyday, cooks for me, is attractive, doesn't ask me to pay for anything, tells me she wants to marry me in the future, yet part of me wants to leave. I feel guilty for wanting that. I just miss being free (not even referring to hooking up with other girls), maybe travelling for a while on my own, being able to fully focus on uni, business and health. The other part of me knows that I will likely not find another girl like this (I was a virgin before her, couldn't get any girls besides an occasional makeout). Also, she is so attached to me, I couldn't even bring myself to break up. Don't get me wrong, I love her, and I'm not saying I want to break up with her, but I've having these thoughts for close to half a year already (been dating for a year). I don't know who to talk to, so I talk to biz. Guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

I assume you are young (early 20s). I’m 31 and let me tell you one thing about relationships. When you start getting old, you go into compromise of telling yourself that she is good enough. High expectations are gone, you find a balance between love, personal space, doing things together and spending time with your friends. Right now you might feel like you want to travel alone and when you are in a relationship it’s not possible. It is possible. Tell her you want to fuck off for 6 months alone. I’m pretty sure she will be ok with it. If you want to concentrate professionally or on your health, you can ask for more personal space. These things don’t mean you don’t love her or you want to fuck other women and if you communicate clearly, it should be no problem. If you break up, you’ll find other women, you will forget about her, you will settle down with someone else who is good ebough. It all depends on if you want to keep her in your life or not.

Based on my years of experience, I can tell you unequivocally that eventually you're gonna fuck up and she's going to have enough and leave. After a week or so you're going to start looking at your phone, start moping around and wonder how it happened and after a few bad dates (who don't even compare to your current girl) you're gonna realize you fucked up royally and NO other girl will ever satisfy you the way she does.

OP here. thanks for everyone's input. I'm usually studying all day. After not seeing my gf for almost the entire day, it feels bad to go to friends or something, this has caused me to hardly see my friends anymore. My life is currently gym, study, explore some business ideas, spend time with gf, and sleep. Ideally it would be something like study, gym, more time exploring business ideas, spend time with friends, go out every now and then, spend time with gf. But this would mean not seeing my gf everyday, which would hurt her.

as you grow older and begin to build your own nest, you naturally grow distant from most of your friends. one or two will remain, and you'll see them rarely, but its all par for the course. it'll happen to your friends, too. they won't have time for your single dumbass once they have their nests. it happens to everybody.

Hey man been through hell and heaven as well. It seems from what you are writing you are young.

The more you spend time with your girlfriend the more this feeling gets. I wasnt the person who had these feelings like you are, but i was the other side. Had the same stuff like you had but on the opposite side. You see what will probably happen (if you dont fix your mind up) is that your gf is going to dump you. I did it. The sad part is that you will be crawling back to her once you realize how fucking hard it is to find the perfect partner. There is no perfect person waiting you out there. You are young and only 1 year together. It gets harder and harder the more you spend time with her. Best bet here is to break up and see what happens or put more effort into your relationship.

I can say already a mile away that you are dumb and think with your youngling brain, but honestly the older you get the more stability and peace you want. You might get these feelings right now, but there are always solution. Live separately, have your own room that closes and doesnt open for a week. Talk to each other occasionally but it doesnt need to be fucking clingy. The interesting part here is that if you somehow manage to fix this problem of yours, your relationship will be stronger. Due note that everyone has their limit and so does your girlfriend. When i dumped my girlfriend she was banging the door 1 week later, crying, calling like a psycho. You will probs do the same.

Hey man happy to help!

It really depends what you want in life. Relationships DONT have to be the classical lets spend time together 24/7 and be cuddly etc. Relationships are more like friendships but with trust. If you have a friendship with someone then you can or cant do stuff what ever you like. Being in a relationship is like level 2. You kiss, touch each other, have sex, cuddle but more important have trust. If there is no trust in a relationship then its friendship.

That being said you dont have to have a clingy relationship. You can have your own time and she hers. It needs to be settled when and what. You DONT have to have kids before 30 if she agrees. You need to find a compromise. Is she ugly? Get her into the gym. Fix the relationship. Thats whats boring and fucked up in this world is that people dont want to fix relationships anymore. Its sad. Ive seen 5 peoples lives get destroyed and they are just sad, unhappy, angry all the time. If a problem arises in a relationship they just dump it and find another one. Unironically those are the people who have drinking problems, look slutty, unintelligent etc. They actually crave people who have good relationships but they just dont admit it.

I told you mate, you are going to regret this. If she is fat or ugly, fix it. Fucking push her on the treadmill. If she is clingy, fucking say it. Be the leader of the relationship. Be firm. If you believe you want to be single then fucking be. Dont waste her time. Thats the asshole move. She could make someone happy in life and you are being a total dick about it. That shows immaturity actually. That shows you are a dumb person. You need to understand do you want her or not. But do note this, if you have had a good relationship, then odds are you might never find one like that or you will settle with something shitty and continue swapping partners. We are all going to die anyways so dont expect anything to last forever.

First part is right, she will pick up on it, but terrible advice.

If you don’t love her she will feel it consciously or unconsciously, and sooner or later she will leave with someone who actually cares.

I was in a similar situation to you, OP, and this was what happened.

Find out whether you really want her or not, but don’t drag it out. It will eat you both alive.

Yeah just you need to be the person to understand what you want. Dont get me wrong the break-up is going to be a fucking nasty one. She will totes go crazy on you. Expect shit to be flown.

That being said if you truly believe this is just a fling then say it to her. "Hey lets meet up 4x per week and 3x per week do our own stuff". The risk here is though that she might find another man. I had the same situation where i was actually starting to talk to another interesting woman. Shit man my gf went totally cray cray on it. I dont know why people have these feelings. I've just accepted that love is just a thing that can or cant last. I want to believe there is such a thing like love but obviously it can all change so fast.

The mature thing here is to enjoy that time you have with her and make a firm decision. I want to be with her and fix this by having OUR relationship or i want to go solo and let her make someone else happy. Dont be that 50:50 guy because odds are your relationship is going to take a very weird turn of you not spending time with her and believe me, she will fuck another dude while being with you. Then you get angry and sad and its going to fuck up you as well KEK. Then you try to fix shit but it feels weird from that point on etc. You will have more peace if you make a decision because expect a lot of shitty scenarios happening if you choose to be the 50:50 guy.

Sucks mate. Im a firm believer that long distance relationships dont work out. Ive never seen one that actually worked. Its always the classical "One side decides to go out and have a good time" and fucks it up. Best chances is just to take a break for the long-distance relationship time and go back together while forgetting everything what happened during that time. IMO thats the only way it CAN again work, but alas the other possibility is that you both find your own path and continue that while never contacting again.

She's not right for you. You will know when you find the right one because it is a night and day difference. You'll just know. You will want to spend every second with here, I'm telling you.

Fellow 30 year old here.

Is there a reason (other than being a faggot) you can't have both things you want. Think long and hard about everything you want and your ideal situation and why you feel these things. Address the emotion behind the urge and not the urge itself. Then talk to her with your thoughts in order.

I know what you're saying. For context, the move was for her own good, it's her first job after graduating college and a great opportunity.

I wanted her to move fully accepting that something like this was likely. I was heavily considering moving to NYC these next couple months, I have an interview at Consensys in Brooklyn for example.

But I can scrap that idea if I want to now. It's all giving me a lot of clarity instead of all this doubt.

I do deserve better than her having Tinder I agree. That shit is wack af.

Yeah I like the emotionally mature route too bro. Thanks for this. I don't really have many people to talk to about this but I have a good head on my shoulders as well and have learned to be bitter is not the best approach in the long term. I'll see if it gets brought up, I'll try not to.

>reading a book takes more attention than spending hours doing repetitive tasks that you have to actually get better at to progress

It's a stupid comparison to begin with but you must be delusional if you don't think vidya requires a lot of attention. The only reason ADHD kids love vidya is because hyperfocus is a side effect of attention deficit, also why autismos love vidya because they have crazy attention spans.

are you speaking about playing video games or reading books. Reading a book requires doing autism level task repetition. You literally sit there, and read. For hours. Motionless. That's fucking catatonic.

With video games you have a multi-sensory experience at least. One designed to be attention grabbing.

Yeah bro I know. I've been a savage. I fucked 10s of girls when living in San Francisco and Berlin.

Life's on easy mode. It's fun but at the same time a hollow experience. And I found that I did it mainly to help me cope with my mother's death due to cancer. Spoiler: It didn't work.

I moved on and try to live a virtuous life mostly now. I don't like hookup culture but it feels like it's the only choice I have.

Wading through these shit girls until 1 finally clicks. Took me a couple years to find this one so it sucks having to restart lol and feel like this relationship investment was such a waste of time.

>>11635115
Sounds like it's run its course. Unless you were talking seriously about marriage, long distance with her in a big city will almost certainly ruin it. Make a clean break, move to NYC, go hit up a few random dive bars per night on Fridays and Saturdays, see how easy it is to game chicks here. There's so many women at these bars, and getting laid is a numbers game, that it's really difficult to strike out because you can have literally 50 attempts a night. After you smash every weekend, realize your gf was nothing special and she got gamed the exact same way because she has 50 guys to choose from. Just another cog in the 8 million part machine. It's nothing personal, nothing against you. It's just on Halloween night when you start off with 1 lollipop and have 500 pieces of candy to choose from after trick or treating, no one finishes their lollipop.

You're supposed to be a cold unforgiving Chad while in your relationship. That's a mistake I made in the past. The minute you get soft or go a little beta they pick up on it and they will cheat. You gotta be the guy she wants to cheat with, and, since she already has him there's no one better to cheat with.
Never get soft. Never get vulnerable. There's no such thing as true love unless you and her were pair bonded from early teens. After a certain age it purely becomes biological attraction/lust. This is the sad red pill. You'll probably remain a Chad savage for life now that you know this truth. Life sucks

This is the most delusional cope I ever heard. I don't know what books your english teacher forced you to read, but reading is not a 'repetitive' task, consider how many hours of your life you spend reading, you're even reading this post right now. A book is a story, each page is fundamentally different. A video game is a repetitive task you need to do and often they repeat. Whether it's RTS or RPG or FPS, you 'feel' like it's attention grabbing because you crave the rush of achievement and the sounds and the colours. But that doesn't mean it doesn't require a high attention span. If it didn't require a high attention span then the top gamers wouldn't be borderline autistic NEETs. Reading a book is like listening to a song, it just plays out, and when you're reading you're not even really conscious of what you're doing. Just because it BORES you, doesn't mean it requires a high attention span, these are different concepts.

High attention span = energy expended to focus, something that is boring may require more attention for you to actually force yourself to do it, but that doesn't mean the task itself is demanding. Vidya is demanding even if you enjoy it, as at any moment you could fuck up and lose etc. It's a non argument.

>>11635281

Do you even read my posts? I WANT to party and get lit every weekend, it's just my friends are always fucking busy. My problem is how can I meet new friends who don't have as many commitments.

Stop playing shitty video games. Non-shitty video games are much more engaging than books.

I don't 'feel' it's attention grabbing. It is attention grabbing. It's like saying one 'thinks' one feels pain and not truly feel it. The feeling of attention is attention itself. What kind of depersonalized thought process are you having? Is this required to be able to catatonize yourself into rading a book for 5 hours straight?
You also seem assblasted over a minor thing, which is a red flag. You could be possibly narcissistic, which could explain this thread nicely. You don't want advice, you just want platitudes for your success.

Look I think we got off on the wrong foot, I am not disparaging vidya, I actually enjoy hanging out with my friends watching them play. I also think it's good at developing the brain, many studies have demonstrated that people who play games are cognitively faster and better performing than other people. I also used to play a shit ton when I was 17/18. So don't think I'm being all high and mighty thinking I'm so patrician with my books. My point was enjoying something, ANYTHING, makes it easy to do, and not enjoying something makes it hard to do. Some people love cooking and can spend three hours meticulously crafting a recipe, some people just want to microwave a dinner.

My point is there is a subjective component to how easy it 'feels' to do a task, but objectively the way to measure something like focus/attention is to look at something like decision fatigue. Video games require constant decision making, sometimes those are reflexive like in shooters, sometimes they are strategic like in Civ4, but regardless the core basis of a game is you making choices to reach a goal. That requires focus, it requires processing and problem solving etc. Critical thinking.

Consider this, when you sit down at a game and then you look at a clock and realise you've been playing for four or five hours straight, that by definition means your brain was so focused you literally stopped perceiving time. This all means games require a high attention span, one that you are able to provide. When I was younger I had that, some people keep it, but when I hit around 20 I found myself getting more and more tired. And if I play any game now more complex than checkers I become exhausted. I didn't CHOOSE for that to happen.

You seem to think reading is tiring but that's only because you don't find what you're reading interesting. Whereas even if I find a game interesting it's tiring, because of the need to process and react. Whereas books are like music or movies, you can turn off.
